You know what happens when you mix baseball and rain? De Niro and Snipes show up.

Brett Anderson (1-1, 4.21) vs. Eddie Butler (2-2, 3.81).

Our boys are 5-2 on this current road trip in their last seven games, which brings them to Colorado today — except the weather may not be cooperating. The current forecast calls for rain and thunder in Denver, creating a prime opportunity for a doubleheader in L.A. when the Rockies visit Dodger Stadium next weekend.

If we do get a game today, who will power the offense? Will it be yesterday's hero, Yasmani Grandal, whom I recently likened to a handful of magic beans? NL Rookie of the Month, Alex Guerrero? NL Rookie of Next Month, Joc Pederson? With Kemp traded and Puig on the DL, color me as surprised as anyone about the Dodgers' offensive prowess. But hey, as our mantra goes: We'll take it.

Getting that play at the plate for the final out of he fifth was huge. Back in rain delay, top 6 with the bases full of Dodgers and one out. If the delay continues and they call the game, it's official as a 2-1 win for LA
